FAQ

What is revenue per employee (RPE)?+

Revenue per employee is a productivity metric calculated by dividing total annual revenue by the number of full-time employees. It indicates how efficiently a company generates revenue relative to its workforce size.

Why does RPE matter?+

RPE helps investors and management gauge operational efficiency. A higher RPE suggests the company generates more revenue per person, which often correlates with better profitability and scalability.

What is a good RPE for tech companies?+

Top-performing tech companies achieve $300-500K+ RPE. Companies like Apple exceed $2M per employee. SaaS companies typically range from $200-400K, with highly automated platforms doing better.

How can I improve RPE?+

Automate repetitive tasks, invest in tools that amplify individual output, focus on higher-value products, optimize headcount, and improve sales productivity with better enablement.

Should contractors be included in the count?+

It depends on the analysis. For internal benchmarking, include full-time equivalents (FTEs) only. For a complete picture of labor efficiency, include contractors converted to FTEs.
